To strengthen the ability of Customs to detect counterfeit products, the World Customs Organization (WCO) provides them with the Interface Public-Members (IPM) anti-counterfeiting tool. Field Customs officers scan the GS1 Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) encoded in the product’s barcode or input key words. IPM compares the product information to a database of legitimate products for counterfeit detection. (GS1 Transport & Logistics and customs reference book 2014/2015)
